Aid ship reaches Malta from Misurata

 A French aid ship has reached Malta from Misurata this morning.

The Saint Antoine Marie II birthed at Pinto Wharf in Valletta and disembarked a number of evacuees from the war-torn port of Misurata, where representatives of the Medecins Sans Frontieres told reporters on the serious humanitarian situation thousands of civilians are facing.

Misurata has been heavily bombed throughout yesterday evening and last night.
